Stereotypes are nothing more than generalizations.

Generalizations can be either valid or invalid. We use them everyday. If they are fair based in facts people regard the generalizations as valid because theres truth behind them. If they are unfair based on lies people regard them as irrational and deliberately unfair and misleading.

Isn’t America wonderful? You can be intellectually challenged and still be a millionaire.

Sure he can dribble, but his mental capacity is only as far as the wind blows and akin to a rock.

Wasn’t a gaffe. He meant what he spewed.

The NBA icon posted a photo of himself on Instagram captioned with lyrics from a song by American rapper 21 Savage, writing: “We getting that Jewish money. Everything is Kosher.” The LA Lakers star soon found himself under heavy fire for perpetuating a stereotype about Jewish people. Host of YouTube show Pittsburgh Sports Live Mike J. Asti wrote on Twitter: “Current NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is Jewish. Former NBA Commissioner David Stern is Jewish. He wouldn’t appreciate it if they quoted offensive lyrics about African-Americans. There can’t be a double standard. Very surprising LeBron would be this dumb.”
It's easy to believe that Mike J. Asti would be this dumb.

James and Curry have a combined IQ below their shooting percentages.

The fact that we're all expected to lie about it means nothing will change any time soon.

True.

But after having read a bunch of stories like this I have to wonder, "why do these people have social media accounts?"

I wouldn't if I was rich and famous. Too easy to make a nitwit of yourself in front of the entire world.

Actually, the full quote was, “We getting that Jewish money. Everything is kosher.
We is robbing Hymietown again.” /s

Why isn’t Lebron under fire for perpetuating the stereotype of the black man as a less than intelligent basketball player?

Same thing with his obvious mockery of the poor jungle simians from whom he plainly borrows his hair style, frightening grimace, and lumbering gait.

Such cruelty!
